Just happened.

I was thinking about it minutes beforehand. Then, at 11:14, I said: Dang! I missed it!

I could pay attention again tonight, I suppose — but really, that’s 23:11. It just won’t be the same.

  2. No! The Armistice went into effect, in each time zone, at the Eleventh-Hour, of the Eleventh-Day, of the Eleventh-Month!

    1100 hrs, on 11 November 1918 – Local Time.

  3. The next 11-11-11 will come in the next 100 years and Aaron W will still be a guest poster here and me the owner of the blog. Just sayin’

  4. We watched the time, per computer, down to the second: 11/11/11, 11:11 and 11 seconds, screamed “yeah”, and went back to what we were doing. The heavens did not open, we did not see a pot of gold appear…no unicorns…nada…

    Now it’s look for 88,888.8 miles on the wagon (about 15 to go)…

  5. Cain-Bush was too conservative for me in 2000

    So being an amnesty shill and having your cabinet members give to PP counts as too conservative?

  7. People should have been celebrating 1/9 of a second later, when it would be 11:11:11.11111…

    NThat would be an exceedingly silly thing to put in a treaty, and it wasn’t.

    “Hostilities will cease on the whole front as from November 11 at 11 o’clock French time. The Allied troops will not, until further order, go beyond the line reached on that date and at that hour.”
